The email address will stay the same. >> That would be right - a couple of months after I decided to spring for the >> $39 and buy the SL to update my older iMac to match my main iMac (which came >> with SL installed). The offer is a targeted program intended for MobileMe members who need to upgrade their systems in order to move to iCloud rather than a general price cut for all purchasers of Snow Leopard.
